Psalm: 59

Meditation

Job: “Job must be guilty of something,” says Bildad the Shuhite. Further, he postulates that everyone is impure. Bildad is not a theologian so let’s agree he may not be sure of his inferences. Theologians today still debate the very same question. Veiled in there somewhere is the doctrine of Original Sin. Job’s response is that he will be true to his integrity, which he is. That is excellent if you’re right! But if you’re wrong, your integrity then becomes a lethal source of pride – like NT priests and Pharisees.
